hi my name is Michael O'Rourke and I am one of the co-founders and uh CEO of pocket Network Inc uh so why why would you want to use pocket uh one it's the centralized infrastructure uh we are rebuilding the internet and uh using web3 systems and crypto economic systems and at the end of the day you are using a truly decentralized network of nodes as your back end it's scalable you can uh you'll be able to scale your applications to meet the demands of your users we have all different types of applications using pocket today I'd say gaming is probably the largest uh driver of traffic in terms of uh the scale that it drives at and we handle that perfectly uh pocket's also affordable so our portal reduces all of your costs uh in effect because we are not operating the nodes themselves which means that you get much more cost-effective infrastructure uh we privacy as well we we deeply deeply care about privacy uh the portal does not log or map any sensitive user information such as IP addresses or transactions and uh ensuring that your users data and transactions are protected pocket is also multi-chain so we support almost 40 blockchains today and uh this is important particularly since so many blockchain or so many applications today are are multi-chain uh our Bounty program will be divided into two categories um the first one uh and our largest one is to improve the ethereum RPC layer um so this prize is going to be distributed uh to the top three projects that make improvements to how applications interact with the ethereum RPC this could be things like security um this could be things like ux improving how developers use the RPC there's really a whole host of things that can be built to there and uh the prize go the prizes go for six thousand for first place uh 3750 for a second place and 1500 for uh third place and then lastly we've got a second Bounty and that is just using pocket and building on pocket Network this is a prize pool and it will be split evenly between all the teams whose applications use pocket as an RPC provider and that pool is uh 3750 so that'll be split between all of the submissions that use pocket Network endpoint in their final project to serve relays so with that thank you and I look forward to seeing you all in in Denver
